Rating

Rating On 2 July, Moody's confirmed Sparebanken Hedmark's A2 rating and said it had a stable outlook. Moody's put it under review for possible downgrading in March due to our increased stake in Bank 1 Oslo Akershus AS The bank's individual C- rating (standalone financial strength rating) was also confirmed Rating drivers: Robust local retail operations Funding supported by high proportion of deposit funding The bank's profitability is supported by stable, traditional banking Membership of the SpareBank 1 Alliance (cross-sales, economies of scale, risk management models, etc.) which also entails a certain probability of financial support from other member banks The quality of loans is, based on some key figures, somewhat weaker than in comparable banks, but the trend is positive Increased stake in Bank 1 Oslo Akershus increases the risk profile slightly Unofficial ratings - rating of Norwegian savings banks: Nordea Credit Research: # 1 DNB Markets: # 2 SpareBank 1 Markets: # 1 33
